1. Hegirascope

   Early web hypertext that combines links with text that automatically refreshes, sometimes faster than the reader can follow it.

   Note: The New River published Hegirascope Version 2 in October 1997.

   Author's description, from The New River:

   WHAT IF THE WORD STILL WON'T BE STILL?

   This is an extensive revision of a Web fiction originally released in 1995. The current text consists of about 175 pages traversed by more than 700 links. Most of these pages carry instructions that cause the browser to refresh the active window with a new page after 30 seconds. You can circumvent this by following a hypertext link, though in most cases this will just start a new half-minute timer on a fresh page.

   The best way to encounter this work is simply to dive in, though some may prefer a more stable reference point. For these readers, there is an index to particularly interesting places in the text. You may want to go to that page and bookmark it.

   The original "Hegirascope" was designed for Netscape Navigator 1.1 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0. This version adds no new technical features and requires no plug-ins, Java, or JavaScript.

2. Notes Toward Absolute Zero

   Notes Toward Absolute Zero interweaves historical documents of the ill-fated Franklin expedition with the personal reminiscences of a woman in search of her hypnotist uncle and of the the man who, in turn, searches for her. Follow Jericho, Magel, and Winter as their lives intersect and diverge across an eerie landscape dotted with relics, forgotten lists, train wrecks, scraps from journals, ghost ships, poetry, postage stamps, Mesmer's propositions, and -- of course -- The Six Failures of Love.

5. Mahasukha Halo

   Mahasukha -- the Nepalese Buddhist concept of transendence through erotic experience.

   Mahasukha Halo -- snapshots, pleas, and confessions from a future world of alien sex and alien gods, where humans do the dirty work and put on the dirty shows. Lost missionaries, sex addicts, hyacinth men, and post-millenium religious fanatics poulate these street scenes where sex and religion are polyvalent, and body parts proliferate. (Source: Eastgate)

   Mahasukha Halo is a mysterious science fiction hypertext that reveals a disturbing picture of a futuristic world where people praises creatures from another planet. To satisfy these creatures, people have to do some disturbing things. The work has a console where users can navigate through the work, see links and save their reading progress.

6. El primer vuelo de los hermanos Wright

   El proceso de creación hipertextual de esta obra se remonta hasta el año 1995, cuando me planteé el problema del hipertexto como posibilidad de creación literaria. Esta es una hipernovela experimental. Este proyecto se concluyó porque tengo la convicción profunda de que el medio electrónico representa el futuro de la literatura (Escrito por el autor, Juan B. Gutiérrez)

8. Completing the Circle

   Completing the Circle is a hypertext fiction about the recovery of a man known as Haller, the victim of a traffic accident in which he lost his partner. Within the narrative he also tries to get in contact with his wife, Christina. This is made difficult, however, as he is suffering from head trauma which causes problems for him when he tries to remember and understand what surrounds him.

   In this creative work, users can interact and scroll through the hypertext by clicking the backspace key or by clicking one of the many links that are hidden throughout the text.

9. Sea Island

   This hypertext containing ten poems explore memory, desire, solitude, and loss. This is a work that uses poetry to pan a passion out of words as we progress through Falco’s “crazy sea of language” which allows the reader to follow the words and phrases many paths. This work enables the reader to create their own route through the words and allows poetry to explore new ways.

   “What this is about, for me at least, is a desire to do something different with language, to make it jump with the power of magic” (Falco, Edward)
